I have a box spring mattress set. Can I use both on this bed? Will it work with the box spring or only the mattress?

You would not be able to use the box spring. The platform on the bed means that it is already high enough and strong enough to support the mattress. Adding a box spring would make the mattress way too high.

it will work, but your bed will be higher than the footboard and headboard.

Hi, I like a really high mattress do you think I can use a box spring and matress?Will it hold the excess weight of the box spring? Thank you for your help!

The only drawback to using both the box spring and mattress is that the decorative head and footboards would not be seen. Other than that, they should fit. However, I am an average size adult and I sleep comfortably on this bed with only a mattress.

If it worked for me between twin beds under a mattress cover it should work on the box spring for your situation.

Box spring is not required. You can use a box spring if you feel that the mattress is too low from the ground.

I don't see why you couldn't. I do not have mine on a box spring because my bed frame is already high, and this mattress makes the top of the bed high enough I almost have to jump into bed.

Yes....I used it for my queen bed that has a mattress and box spring. Works great!

I have a full size mattress with a box spring. It will work on a twin bed. I am not sure, on a sleep number bed. I had a question for the Drive Medical, I called after hours, and they called me the next morning. I don't have the phone number.

I just used a mattress - a thicker memory foam one. I don't think there is room for both box springs and a mattress.

It's an all foam mattress. I should think it would be fine on a box spring. I would check with the company.

Foam mattresses don't use box springs. You will need a frame or a support system.. We used a sheet of heavy plywood In our bed frame. It was cheap and works great. Hope this helps!

I placed the box spring and mattress on the floor. The rails were between the box spring and mattress. Works just fine. Imagine doing the same without the box spring might work and may depend on your flooring and whether the mattress would slip, or not. These rails are awesome.

I doubt it will be a problem. The only challenge we've had is the box spring moves around a little bit (so I wouldn't recommend running and jumping onto the bed - ease onto it at first to see how much the bed moves). Some people have put down sticky mats to keep it from shifting - I've heard other have gotten rid of their box springs and when the mattress itself is on the frame, it stays put. I have both a queen frame and a full size frame. On the queen, the mattress is directly on the frame and works perfectly. We kept the box spring on the full frame and it moves around a bit - but not enough to worry us. Hope that helps! I doubt it will be a problem.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work with your bed. With a regular spring mattress in king or queen size, you order 2 helpers: one for each side of the bed. The size you will order is different for a king or a queen so a problem I can see with your bed is that you may need a smaller size for each side than normal since the middle of the bed or the barrier between the two sides seems to be holding up okay and isn't sagging. I would measure the width of the problem area of one side and compare that to the widths available in the mattress helper and choose the one that seems like it will correct what you need without pushing the middle up to an unduly degree. Then just order 2 of that size. If all else fails, call mattress helper's customer service and ask for advice.

I used two separate twin bed frames but just used the SGT Knots on the mattresses not the box springs. It really works great when you add the pad that goes on top of the mattresses so you can't feel where they are joined together. It should work just the same with a king-size bed frame too.

No, we just put the mattress on it. If you put a box spring, the mattress will be too high. The picture is what our little girl's bed looks like with just the mattress.

Hi you have to understand what this is. It is only headboard and footboard. You have to buy the bed frame to put the mattress on it.It depends on what type bed frame to see if it need a box spring or not. Then you install the head/foot board from picture onto the bed.
